“…Photovoice aims to give marginalized or underrepresented communities a platform to communicate their perspectives, raise awareness about their concerns, and stimulate dialogue with policymakers, researchers, and the broader public [5,6]. In doing so, Photovoice can be a powerful tool for social change, as it engages and amplifies the voices of individuals and communities otherwise overlooked or unheard [7]. The ultimate goal of a photovoice with young, vulnerable migrants would be empowerment [8].Research indicates that Photovoice has a higher capacity than conventional research approaches when it comes to enabling individuals with a refugee background to contemplate positive settlement experiences, rather than solely focusing on the numerous challenges they encounter [9,10].…”

This study focuses on the integration facilitators of young migrants in Romania, as resulting from the information gathered through a Photovoice participatory action research method. Young third country nationals were asked to take photos which they thought best summed up their migration experiences. Next to the photos, the migrants were also asked to submit short texts describing the captured images and the meanings that these had for them, thus adding richness and nuance to the data. The evidence gathered reveals that several factors, such as access to education, interacting with a new culture, and with new places and people, are perceived as opportunities and positive migration outcomes. Therefore, human and social capital, as well as the natural or urban environment in the host country, contribute to the enhancement of integration opportunities for young migrants. The paper sets out to analyze how such factors which can facilitate integration are captured in a PAR. Research results show that young migrants perceive their experiences in Romania as enhanced by some factors through which they advance in their integration paths.

We investigate the spatial decision-making of graffiti writers when selecting target locations, examining how street segment characteristics influence exposure. Extending the rational choice perspective to expressive offending, we collected data through Systematic Social Observation in Ghent’s city center in November 2017, covering 12,655 graffiti instances across 2,233 street segments. The SSO involved counting graffiti items and public facilities likely to attract crowds, and measuring street network centrality. Conditional logit models assessed the impact of these characteristics on graffiti location choices. Results show that street network centrality and the presence of bars, night shops, residential units, and schools significantly increased graffiti writers’ preferences. Our findings suggest that graffiti writers aim to maximize exposure, highlighting the rational choice perspective’s relevance for expressive offending.
